Houston investment bank Doeren Mayhew Capital Advisors recently assisted Westport Marine Holdings in acquiring Signal International, a shipyard near the Texas-Louisiana border.

Acting as exclusive financial advisor, the licensed investment bankers at Doeren Mayhew Capital Advisors assisted Westport in completing the acquisition and securing financing. With 50 years of combined experience in the shipyard business, the owners of the new Westport Orange Shipyard have the 88-acre facility fully operational and will look to Doeren Mayhew’s CPA practice for continued support of the business.

“The expertise and negotiating strength of the team at Doeren Mayhew Capital Advisors proved invaluable in this deal,” said Sanjay Rao, Westport owner. “Not only were they able to secure a target, but they established our credibility and negotiated a deal that met our business interests.”
